EGG BAGELS Makes 16 bagels
Bagels differ from other yeast breads because after the dough is risen and shaped the
bagels are immersed in boiling water to give them their characteristic firm, chewy in-
terior. They are really fun to make. Be easy on yourself with the forming; homemade
bagels will never be as evenly shaped as commercial ones, but they taste incredible.
While all bagels are not egg bagels, I find the addition of eggs makes for a slightly
lighter homemade version; bagel dough tends to be very dense. Split, toast, and serve
these bagels with butter and jam or with lox and cream cheese.
